Compartment No. 6

Compartment No. 6 is an award-winning drama, based on a novel by Ros Liksom of the same name, about strangers on an unexpected journey. A young Finnish woman escapes an enigmatic love affair in Moscow by boarding a train to the arctic port of Murmansk. Forced to share the long ride and a tiny sleeping car with a larger-than-life Russian miner, the unexpected encounter leads the occupants of Compartment No. 6 to face major truths about human connection. The film is a Grand Prize Winner at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. [2021, Finland, 107 min, in Russian with English subtitles, Rated: NR] Jonathan W. Hickman of The Newnan Times Herald pens, “A surprisingly disarming story bathed in rich romantic nostalgia.” Alan Zilberman of Washington City Paper says, “It’s a provocative snapshot of Russia in the 1990’s, and how two different people struggle to make sense of it” Venue: Cinema Art Theater.
